Highly recommended
CJ was amazing. She helped us capture our wedding on a classic wet summer's day. She made everybody feel at ease and really made sure we got the unique happy photos we wanted. Thank you so much for your help and guidance.

Brilliant fun quirky Photographer
We are so pleased we found CJ to do our wedding photos - she is fun and quirky, organising everyone effortlessly for the 'posed' shots whilst also catching many lovely candid 'unposed' pics

Fun photographer
I believe we were CJ's last wedding of 2023 and she did a fabulous job! The weather was great on the day so we had some lovely indoor and out-door photos without freezing our guests!
CJ has such a fun lovely personality and doesn't mind when you and the guests get silly, in fact it's encouraged! It made for some excellent photos. We didn't want too many posy photos and we have a near perfect mix - CJ's attention to detail is great and she made sure we were all on the same page with what we wanted and our time schedule. We only had CJ for a few hours but she got an amazing selection of photos in that time, she left a little early but refunded us for that time - which was so great of her. For anyone who is looking for a fun photographer - I can't recommend CJ enough

Such a Superstar ✨️
CJ was absolutely fantastic in every way for us. She navigated through the covid-19 lockdown with us; when everything was uncertain and unknown and was always considerate and patient through all of hurdles we had to overcome in the process of re-planning the wedding. She was very good at instructing guests on the day to be where they needed to be and had a fantastic knack of getting big natural smiles from even the most awkward guests. Our photographs came back very quickly and are absolutely fantastic! We cannot thank her enough for all of her patience and professionalism.
